The End of the Beginning

haven’t stuck my nose in here yet…

HI :smiley:

how’s the walking going?

I’m still walking 2x/day 20-30 minutes.
I haven’t noticed a difference between not walking but the pupp loves it and it’s an excuse to play outside :slight_smile:

Quick leg sesh

5 min elipp
Dynamic stretches

Fire hydrants- 2x15
cat stretches

Single leg glute macheen
3x15

Tried doggy leg curls, wasn’t happening with the way the stuff is set up

Leg press-
4x12, quick, no lockout, feel the bURRRN!

Butt lifts off of ball- 2x15

Single leg DL- 2x15

I can use so much more weight here than I think…it’s balance that is the issue.
I can do all reps without touching my right foot to the floor when working my left.
But I have hardly any balance in my right leg…I think because of the way it is shaped.
Q-angle is Greater in my right than left. (was also noted in PT)
But no clear path was given in how/if I could correct it.
I think it all stems from breaking my ankle when I was a kid?? Not sure…

SPin BiKE- 15 minutes

need to stretch and ROLL!

I’m here!

I like you, but you should know that this week will not end well for you :stuck_out_tongue:

Bring it on MEOW!!

It really is time to change the music on my I-pod. I’m not disgruntled angry depressed and full of despair(anymore)

I do have a positive happy silly side and I can feel that starting to shine through.
I’m 18 again with 14 yrs of experience! :smiley:

Ah yes I went through a spout of single DL’s, they can be fun especially once you get the balance part right. I could really feel them in me hams & buns.

You go through logs like craaaaazy girl! Onwards and upwards

MT- ya, fur sure!!!

no not like cray.

Take me like 5 months you silly head!! I just been here forever.

Single leg work is DA DEBIL when it involves standing upright. I used to cheat on my SLDLs and just barely touch the toe of the free foot on the ground for balance. My balance is FUCKED UP from my thyroid though so really I don’t try to do this type of stuff anymore. No Bulgies either oh wellz. My balance is fucked up no need to waste time doing exercises that require balance to really do.

I hear ya.

My balance is fucked up because the way my legs are …not sure if I should bother either but I’m giving my left side a chance to get catch up strength wise.

I take pic so maybe you all can see what I’m talking about or if I’m just seeing things.

Feet straight ahead…see how it looks like someone may have kicked from the side in my right leg??

Makes single leg work a BITCH.

mmm, dirty mirror…

from the back…

“from the back”

ha ha ha

but do you see it??

From the back looks worse. no pervy!

I see what you mean, odd.
Yea, you should def be hitting up them unilateral lufts for a while

not only single leg work

but outer hamstring and outer quad too

that means leg press with internally rotated ankles

ham curl with internally rotatd ankles too

im sorry

i mean externally rotated toes for outer hams

Big Q-angles. I have them too. It sucks because it means my thighs always touch (although I hold fat there anyway, but even when I’m at my leanest, they still touch).
You’ll need to strengthen your glute medius and minimus. Clams and shit like that. And yes, unilateral work helps, if you can bear it.
